2013 fuel pump replacement

Recommended Posts

So I have been having fuel issues and I think I have narrowed it down to the fuel pump. My question is after the pump is installed, the book says to hook some connectors up to a 12v batt. and run the pump for 3-5 seconds to check for leaks. Is this necessary or can I just kick it over? I just don't have that fancy connector to do that, or should I take it to the dealer to do this process?

Havent ever changed one on a honda, but I had a 2010 kx450 and I went through 3 pumps on it. No idea why. At first, the bike would bog and cut out when youw as giving it gas, then after a while it wouldnt start. Popped the air filter off and shot starting fluid in there and it fired right up. Changed the pump. Takes a little bit of time, but by kicking it over, it will prime the pump and should start up.

Thanks guys for the reply! I thought that would be ok but doesn't say anything in the book, I'll keep ya posted when I get my fuel pump in and flowin! Gonna have to start straining my fuel! Pretty sure that's why this one took a dump on me. Think I'll use the gas can filter and also a tank filter for a back up protection!
